Origin and history
Villa Lise, located in Clermont-Ferrand, is a house built in 1934, during the second quarter of the 20th century. commissioned by the architect Valentin Vigneron by the parents-in-law of the sculptor Raymond Coulon, it is distinguished by a concrete structure with five main beams on the facade. The building, designed to house two housing units and an artist's workshop, features a Coulon bas-relief representing the ages of life, as well as hammered ironworks. Although incomplete, this villa illustrates the architectural audacity of the inter-war period, mixing functionality and artistic expression.
Listed as a Historic Monument, Villa Lise has been fully protected, including its fences, since a registration order of 3 December 2001. Its official address, 193 avenue de la Libération, confirms its anchoring in the urban landscape of Clermont-Ferrand. Coulon's work and Vigneron's design make it a rare testimony to the collaboration between architects and artists in the Auvergne of the 1930s, a period marked by architectural experiments and a desire for modernity.
The location of the villa, noted as satisfactory (level 7/10), allows you to appreciate the details from the street. Although practical information on current visits or uses (rents, guest rooms) is not specified in the sources, its status as a Historic Monument suggests active preservation. The villa thus embodies an artistic and architectural heritage, reflecting the cultural aspirations of its time.
